988 suicide prevention.
HB 65 establishes Wyoming's implementation of the national 988 suicide prevention and mental health crisis hotline system. It requires the Department of Health to designate crisis centers by July 2023 to provide 24/7, year-round crisis services statewide, meeting national standards for cultural competence and specialized care. The bill creates a 988 Trust Fund for funding, mandates mobile crisis teams with trauma-informed training, and sets rules for privacy, information sharing, and collaboration between crisis centers and healthcare providers. This directly affects Wyoming residents in mental health crises, crisis centers, and healthcare providers coordinating emergency behavioral health responses.
